PENSIONISTI

the qualification just before the race are very distructive for the start of the race, starting directly from quali to a full tank car and hard tyres makes it very difficult to keep the car on track on first corners. and that ruined my race which ended right in the second corner when I brake late and did go out and got damage, after that a f… lonely race. would been a good race as the pace was good.

Lag and mistakes, or mistakes cause by lag, being very dicissive for my races. although the pace and lap times good on practice where everything runs smooth 90fps, it feels so lag-ish when everybody comes in, i can’t set a good lap for quali and the first race laps are very difficult and i loose a lot in the first 5 laps on all races. the same happened in this race although found some slow cars in front of me (storm and bobby) i couldn’t pass them although my pace was away better. Almost crashed on them 2 or 3 times couldn’t react fast in that frame rate to pass them, so i went on grass to avoid crashing and they went way for some laps. than set the pace and could catch them again and passed storm while bobby took a pit, but the mistakes again and storm re-took the place. struggling with the tires through the end when bobby was very threatening with fresh tires, but somehow the leader came in handy and blue flags helped me make a secure gap for the 4’th place. Such a shame i am 1 sec or more off my practice sessions during the race cause of lag :( . Anyway happy with the progress done this season. if everything goes well, think i can keep the 4’th position in championship.

The track looks promising and very similar to brands hatch. hope for a good race and some more valuable points for the championship. With some good news from stewards maybe can battle for the 3-rd place in championship :)

so good you did the pit to fix the wings in SC. We’re not used to safety car and didn’t thought about pitting while in SC. it would made a big difference if I’d pit, i was loosing up to 2 sec per lap in first stint :(

Congrats to storm, and too much work to stewards :)
The game got very lagy, nothing was as in practice and had a lot problems with VR before race, than the start crash ruined everything, the damage didn’t let me do even 1.19 i’ve done easily in practice, so the first stint was to forget about. than after safety car i am not sure but i got passed before the start line so maybe things to be looked again there. lost a lot pace on the first stunt struggling with the damage, than after pit things were back to normal but the pit was so long to get fixed the body of the car. second stint was very good but too late although got some battles with dragon4red, and a crashing similar to ocon verstappen. but in this case it have to be looked as we were on same lap :). than catched him again in last lap but lost the braking point on the first corner, and the lag was huge so made a mistake there. if there wouldn’t been so much lag things would been very different i had a very good pace but the start crash and lag ruined everything :( .

woohooo, my first podium!
Congrats to storm and mono, you were flying maybe:) what a pace in a track where no place to even wipe the sweat. I am really happy for my first pod although lapped, but me lapped someone too, haha. hope for better to come and for the championship to be decided :). sorry I couldn’t talk today noticed my mic was boke after connecting in race. Big thanks to Storm for the help.

My best race so far! there was traffic on quali, (someone had decided to stop right in middle of the racing line before the chicanes on my fastest lap) and couldn’t better than 7-th. the race started good, after 8-9 laps the soft tires was almost lost, so decided to pit before elgurke and bobby that was in front of me so i could gain a bit from new tyres. and it almost worked i wouldn’t spin on the chicanes and cost me a lot time, so couldn’t catch bobby again although i was closing the gap a lot.
Anyway just one mistake in the race, i am very happy :) . Also happy my first overtakes was good and fair.
LOL, Hope bobby doesn’t DNF if i pass, as looks everyone that i pass DNF’s after few laps :P

I very much like the Estoril too and the 180°, this are from those corners where you can set your own way through it based on your driving. We’re missing a lot this type of corners in F1 today, where there’s only one fast (tilke’s) line and if your not there for a bit, you’re screwed.

The car looks really good, it reacts very good to tyre consumption and temps, also to fuel. I got hit on first corner and spun from there had to almost lonely race but the car was stable and fun, helicorsa worked well for me but maybe it’s not enough for long battles. I am happy we didn’t miss the DRS ;)

Today tried a bit the f2004 for a change, it looks quite good as well but was there really need for the traction control!? it looks quite stable without it, and when it’s stable for me, for others its a piece of cake :). As for the car the front tires looks a bit far ahead and looks a bit like driving a bus :) and that’s maybe the reason i like so much the f310 cause front tires are near to the steering wheel and you feel much more connected to the car, not like driving with a remote.

although i find interesting the idea of 3 cars in next 3 seasons, we might end being always “outdated”. it might be 2 leagues, one legacy and one on the edge, but i don’t like loosing focus from one first league. but if for some reason the rss wins i would really love to have also an legacy or legendary league with f310, i guess there’s room for both.

OMG, OMGH,OMG.. i can’t stop driving it so f.. awesome, i don’t know if there can be a driver that wouldn’t love to drive the F310 so so so super fun to drive so much to do with it so much feel. i don’t understand how the hell did we ended in hybrids when having this (mean in real F1). It all makes sense why Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, etc.. says that the best races and fun they had was when they did karting and not F1. Thanks Thanks Thanks Bobby, hope it wins, i can’t drive others after it. maybe will all night driving it :)

Congrats! to the winner (storm_cloud), and to everyone for the great season! changing the steering wheel one day before race wasn’t a good move although it was better wheel, the fact i wasn’t used to it made me crash a lot and loose the car very quick :( . thanks to bobby for the great car and really welcome the next season car with less electronics old school style. For me was a very productive learning season, hope will be more competitive and have great battles. Thanks to Andrej (NiTjSefni) for the streams really enjoyed watching them after every race!

Get well bobby! Finally a normal pace race for me, not the best one possible as again some mistakes here and there with and costed a position, but finally could hold a good pace. Finally i am not last, (at last before stewarding hahah :) )

For me quali, and hotlaping looks ok in last 2 rounds, although in this one didn’t try at all as for me it’s useless as will end last in first corner anyway. I am still not finding the right pace and consistency for the race. A go-out of corner here and there and tyres gone already, and than slow slow to the end without any possible way to keep the leaders pace, if i be more aggressive it means fighting with tyres on the second half of the race. Will try to find a better pace in silverstone, with 2 stops, hope it will be the turn for me.

Great race although 9th, did good in qualifying 5th, but for the race tires did end just in lap 4 and had to pit early trying to catch later on the end of race, and i did, the end was a battle with yuck, and monolith, but my tires was really ended and they’re comming so fast, had to defend a lo trying to be careful and get out fast on corners that lead to a strait and it somehow worked guys had difficulties passing, and ended with a photo-finnish with yuck. Really great fun. Have to work a lot on pace and strategy though. Keep it up guys, really great league, and taught battles.

bobbydeacs: Yes, that is what I meant though i didn't make it clear, so 17psi cold usually gets you close to 26 hot depending on track/downforce/air/track temperature etc. I tend to take the view that if you're running on say ultras and the running psi is close to 26, but the temps are say 5 degs too high then you're probably 1 compound out and should try the supers rather than increase the pressures. If you were running 10 degs high, then you're probably 2 compounds out so it would then be softs etc. Not saying I'm right though, maybe it is better sometimes to simply try to get the temps down. BTW the hypers tend to overheat on most tracks a bit, but I've found them spot-on at places like Singapore.

Rhobium: 26 psi being the hot pressure, I assume, which gets quite a bit higher than what you set in the garage

bobbydeacs: perfectly normal to have them slightly different. However, with modern F1 cars in particular it's a balancing act. You also want the tyres close to 26psi with this car - too low or too high psi loses grip. The problem is that if you increase psi to get the temps down, you also lose some tyre footprint - hence there isnt a huge advantage normally.

pensionisti: Is it normal to put the LF tyre at 18 psi and the RF at 16, i don't find other way to keep them in temp on ultras ?

pensionisti: yeah but my top speed 325 while yours 346. not sure why but i feel a torque loss after the 6th gear. like it's not accelerating in same speed and loosing power. Anyway have to get used to the grip of the car to carry more speed on corners

Church: i had 11-5 for now

pensionisti: i think it;s enogh to pass carousel flat out

pensionisti: so it should've been much higher speed

pensionisti: i am on 9-4

bobbydeacs: what aero are you using I think I had 15-7

pensionisti: ok thank you will do some tests as seeing these graph it dosn't look i have set it properly and i can't put it on 8 th gear at all https://imgur.com/a/CzzHOBt

bobbydeacs: That said, if you don't run it down between stops then you are wasting energy. Should aim for it to be quite low at end of stint.

bobbydeacs: The green bar, if its running down each lap you are using a bit too much

pensionisti: my question was more basic, as i don't know where to look at, and set the delivery option. like if i set the recovery to 50% and set to motor how do i see if it is enough for the lap or for the race or if it is consuming too much or it's not using it at all. anyway will check online how to set it up, looks more easy. Thank you

bobbydeacs: If you have it set to motor, it works - end of. What I think you are noticing here is I've changed the car to have more mid range power and less top end power. This will reduce top speed. Maybe I overdid it a fraction, but I think the speeds are more accurate now.

pensionisti: If it affects acceleration it affects top speed as well. I just dont know how to check if it worked and how to set it up properly.
